This debate will focus on current and future solutions being proposed by leading organisations and explore whether streaming is set to takeover the DJ booth.

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION… THE BIG DATA

Presented by Chris Cooke (CMU Insights; Founder / Managing Director; UK)

Based on the ‘Data Guide’ he compiled for the Music Managers Forum, CMU’s Chris Cooke reviewed all the numbers that matter, including data feeds from streaming, ticketing, social and direct-to-fan activity. He will then talk through what artists and their teams should be doing to ensure they have access to the data they need when they need it.

Moderated by Bill Brewster (Writer / DJ; UK)
Briefing: Dance music was originally built by black & brown LGBTQ communities who were forced to rave in spaces where they could feel safe, included and represented. With electronic music becoming more popular and commercial, this value was taken away from the movement. A lot of electronic music events are now taking place in super clubs, or luxury festivals that only the few can afford. While commercialization is natural, there is a responsibility to ensure that the communities who built it in the first place not only continue to have access but are also a part of that financial ecosystem.

A Ghost Producer is a music producer that composes and produces tracks for other artists allowing artists to focus on performing and touring.

Briefing: The term “intersectionality” was coined by UCLA law professor and critical race theorist Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989/1990 to refer to the relationship between race and gender in light of US-born feminism and its impact on black women, in particular. It has since developed a multitude of meanings, some of them more accurate than others, to refer to the additional layers of discrimination that other groups of marginalized communities face in addition to gender: race, age, sexual orientation, economic background and class, disability etc. Given dance music was primarily born in gay and black communities, this discussion aims to explore those intersections to highlight that diversity extends beyond gender.
